Joni Mitchell
A portrait of Canadian iconic folk singer Joni Mitchell, who arrived in 60s America and was not afraid to go against the tide.
Portrait of Canadian singer Joni Mitchell who arrived in 60s America - a country torn between Puritanism and the rumblings of a changing society - but who was not afraid to go against the tide.
In the early 60s, Joni began to make a name for herself in Toronto clubs, getting noticed for her atypical crystal-clear voice and for her self-taught way of playing guitar, all in open chords (her trademark) which even fascinated the "guitar heroes" of the time like Eric Clapton.
Joni was not afraid to criticise the America that adopted her, a trait that would go on to define her life and career, showing intelligence ahead of her time.
Leis a鈥� phr貌gram aithriseach seo, tha sinn airson dealbh a dh猫anamh dhen t-seinneadair 脿 Canada a r脿inig Aimeireagaidh anns na 50an agus na 60an, d霉thaich a bh鈥� air a sgaradh eadar 鈥楶uritanism鈥� agus d貌igh-beatha a bha ag atharrachadh. Seinneadair a chaidh an aghaidh an l脿in. Tr脿th anns na 60an, th貌isich Joni Mitchell a鈥� cosnadh cli霉 dhi fh猫in ann an clubaichean ann an Toronto. Chaidh a h-aithneachadh airson a guth soilleir, s貌nraichte, ach cuideachd airson gun do dh鈥� ionnsaich i an giot脿r leatha fh猫in, a鈥� cleachdadh c霉ird fosgailte a bha a鈥� glacadh aire se貌id a鈥� ghiot脿ir leithid Eric Clapton.
Chan eil leisg air Joni Mitchell a bhith a鈥� cur s矛os air Aimeireagaidh far an do ghluais i. 鈥橲 i an nighean 貌g 脿 Canada a r脿inig le a giot脿r fo a h-achlais. 鈥橲 e seo a tha a鈥� dol a thoirt aithne dhi tro a beatha agus a dreuchd, a鈥� sealltainn cho innleachdail 鈥檚 a tha am boireannach a bha an-c貌mhnaidh air thoiseach air c脿ch.
